His Honor Has Asked Corporation Counsel McDonald to Prepare a Measure That Will Embody His Views, Including the Election of the President of the Board by the People, and the Same Will Be Presented to the Legislature. Mayor Sebieren is opposed to Senator Bradley's bill for tho election aldermen by wards.

At his honor's suggestion. Corporation Counsel McDonald is preparing a bill which will provide for the election of a board next fnlt by assfinbly districts, and aleo fur the elootlon of president of the board by tin: poopi. This is thu system which obtains In New York nnd which has been found to work well there. The mayor and Mr. McDonald think that tho assemb district I'lnu is the fairest as to representation, population and locality, because tho iir districts are supposed to contain substantially oqutil populntiuu.

One objection to the present district and nt largo system i. that it olten results the eleciiou of two aldermen one ward and leaves lingo localities unrepresented. Last night Assembly mini Wieman introduced a bill at Albany for the election of aldermen by senatorial districts, tine objection to this is that it would lie impossible under it to prevent the grouping of suverui nklermen in some one purt ot a district. Mr. McDonald preparing a bill, which is of gteat Importance to hc.eity.

will empower the registrar of arrears to soil property for arrears of water rates as well as lor tuxes and assessments. There lias been sale lor a water tax in this city under the arrears. law lor lie reasun that registrars hnve never regarded ns having sulllcioiil authority of law to sell. Why tin. defect has ntrvr been cured past administrations may be able to answer.

There nre upon the books oi the arrears department millions of dollars of claims ior water rales and there would ui'i to be no sullicient reason why a law sitould not be passed to enable the city to recover at least some of its losses in this cli'reo tion. Auoth'T Important measure which Mr. McDonald is preparing pruvides that the city may ut any time aiier comml sionors of appraisal have qualified cuter upon hind intended to be taken in street openings, so that progress may be made ooeo with the construction of a ewer or other improv' ment, without Waiting for the completion of the opening roceedings. This is of im puriancc, particularly at pre out, in ttounc'tiun with tho sower intended to be constructed in North Fifteenth street, for tho relief of tho region in tho neighborhood of Jiusltwu creek. The present law does hot permit tho city to enter nnd domiy work until the lull completion of tbo proceeding for opening the Btreet and condemning and taking laud.
